High School


On Friday, I had a group of about 45 Plano ISD students come view the show. Usually when high schoolers visit in large groups they just tromp around and chat with each other. This time the students were really looking at the work. I watched them circle Darryl Lauster's sculptures and even... gasp... read the info! I did, however, make 50 copies of the checklist and not a single kid picked one up. Good thing we recycle!

It's the Little Things


The installation for our current show was especially fun not just because we painted the space to mimic a museum aesthetic and further flesh out the artist's vision for the exhibition, but because we got new spackle too! This stuff goes on pink, dries white, and weighs about 29 pounds in 6 fluid ounces. Maybe not quite that, but it is pretty thick. We are also showcasing our newest artist, Terrell James, in the back room with a small installation of her newest work.
Her paintings have already generated a lot of interest, so we're awfully excited.
